@swrider A Reminder that the DP system does not update properly. :)

I rolled a DP for Sanguine and then a 4th as GM's prerogative.

Our knowledge skills are minimal, but a few rolls can be made to set the stage for what we know.

Knowledge, Outer Rim (For Darlyn Boda info): (Vesper's Roll) FORMIDIBLE (4 Diff) + Setback +1 Boost unskilled assist.

Knowledge, Warfare (For Darlyn Boda info): (Vesper's Roll) AVG (2 Diff) (YYGG) +1 Boosts skilled assist from Kettel (2 R's) plus being in the Alliance.

Knowledge, Underworld (For Darlyn Boda info): (Hell's' Roll) AVG (2 Diff) + Setback (YYGG) skilled assist from Vesper.

Streetwise (For Darlyn Boda info): (Hell's' Roll) AVG (2 Diff) (YYG) + Setback +1 Boost unskilled assist. (Any Advantage from Hell's Underworld Roll or Vesper's Outer Rim Roll can be spent here.)

Thanks for the reminder. I'll be honest. I don't have any intention of getting to it until after my job interview on the 24 to and 25th. I'm just to busy until then.

That'll be fine. Will keep track the old fashioned way. ;)

We won't progress too quickly from here. I just wanted to get something up today so I can focus on the next parts.

I'll wait for Rider to be able to participate fully, then. We can do the rolls once he's back in action!

Yeah. Just a placeholder to get something up. Oona is only a 2 Int and one rank in Core Worlds. Not a factor by these rolls.

How'd the interview go? @swrider

For the others, I am at a family reunion Sat-Tues this coming week. July 4th will probably the next time I get a chunk of free time.

Re-posting in the OOC. After these rolls, I can sort out how it plays out. I think we are close to having just a little more IRL time.

I rolled a DP for Sanguine and then a 4th as GM's prerogative.

Knowledge, Outer Rim (For Darlyn Boda info): (Vesper's Roll) FORMIDIBLE (4 Diff) + Setback +1 Boost unskilled assist.

Vesper Reshari; Uprising; Knowledge (Outer Rim):
2 Failures, 2 Threats

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Vesper Reshari; Uprising; Knowledge (Warfare):
4 Successes, 5 Advantages

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Not much on the Outer Rim check, but good result on the Warfare check. In case you want to use the 2 Threats for setbacks on the second check:

Vesper Reshari; Uprising; Knowledge (Warfare):
1 Failure, 1 Threat

Threats and Adv's do not pass. They will represent additional facts/details, be accurate or not.

@SavageBob Magnificent Warfare check! Vesper knows that Darlyn Boda was one of several staging places for building Echo Base on Hoth, but knows little to nothing about the planet itself. Perhaps another icy planet like Hoth??? (2 Threats) There may be Rebel allies still there. She may know some people at Echo Base whose pre-staging point was there. I welcome any input you may have as to what Vesper may know. Lots of Successes and Advantages to take care of. :D

Cool! So, DB was a staging area for Echo Base is probably worth Image. Maybe the three other Image suggest three reasons why it was a good stating point, like lack of a strong Imperial presence, access to the [whatever] trade route, and abundant supply of [whatever]? Those seem like basic strategic facts she may know about it based on its role in the war.

I like the 5 Image relating to potential allies or others with experience there. Maybe one of our rescued Rebels from Hoth did his staging there and can fill in some of the blanks? Or our Imperial captive can fill us in on what the Empire thinks about the place? He's still around, right?

Unfortunately, most of those have to do with knowing something about the planet. It is on a hyperspace trade route. "Limited" Imperial presence says it best. Imperial Gov't and a base. Little else.

So I've been thinking about the triumph on my Kn Underworld check. There is no net success with it so Hell does not know anything about the underworld setup there, but perhaps he knows someone. Could the triumph be used to have an old acquaintance or friend of Hell's be located there?

I was thinking that. Run into an old acquaintance? Like whom? Anything in the background you can think of?

I don't mention many people in his backstory. Perhaps the biker that he bought a drink for back on Ione. Things went that something on the first encounter, but hell did buy the drink. Perhaps the guys had been telling the story of this crazy bloke when he'll walks in and hes like "that's the guy!"

lol. It can be fun tying in random scenes like that though.

@DeepSpacer your destiny tracker is now fixed. you will have to set it. The issue was much larger than I anticipated as the forum upgrade prevents images from automatically refreshing with a page. I had to devise a work around to make the image refresh. You may notice it flash to the old number before changing, that is a result of the work around if it is too annoying let me know and I can change it. I have not fixed all of the forums yet, so if you have another game you wish fixed quickly let me know. Also I fixed the initiative tracker, you don't use it in this game, but I thought I would mention it as well.

Correct. Seems to have been a busy week for many. It is the Summer, after all.

I was under the impression that someone else was making the roll. Sorry about that I'll try to get to a computer tonight. If I haven't already rolled someone else may do it.

It's okay, Busy week here. Tues-Wed a no-go. Hope to be free a bit by Thurs-Fri.

Yeah, Oona may return to player control at a future point, so I will keep her involved. Plus, she's better with people skills. The 'agitator role' was the main one of the campaign, but ended up being the most volatile. Go figure.

It is always dangerous to plan a game around any one character in PBP. As much as I try to avoid premade adventures, they seem to work well in PBP because they already include a bit of a railroad. The lack of visual clues between gamers and GM can really make PBP difficult at times.
